entry 8 (oct 8)

Long time no talk, everyone~

I’ve been swamped by midterms lately! Luckily they were all before the Thanksgiving/Reading break but having three midterms in three days is never fun. Also, kudos to those in philosophy -- I have no idea how you guys do it because those concepts are so confusing to me. I also lowkey didn’t know I had three midterms in a row until maybe 2 weeks prior? My bad LOL so I studied for the heaviest and longest one two days before the test?? Yeah sounds weird but I had confidence in myself to do well on it, and I think it’s in the middle among the three (the first one I got a 95 and the third one was philosophy so UM HAHA).

Some insta updates: apparently Killing Me was removed because of the music so I’m reuploading it. How KDC has it on their account is beyond me, but I pitched the music this time so we’ll see how it goes. Sorry for not catching it earlier and fixing it/uploading something else T____T. I also won’t be continuing with the original order of the covers I asked Pretty Boy for… I haven’t really been following it so far anyway LOL 2-3-5-IDOL-1-9-4 much order such wow. KDC tutorials also make it worse because newer songs tend to kind of cut the line (sorry older songs, I still love you!). It’s hard to keep the order of songs because some are harder and take more time to learn so sometimes it’ll push the timeline back. I wrote 6 songs when I’ve only really covered 5 (because IDOL wasn’t a legit take) -- 4 is actually the song that got me interested in KDC and I could play it for hours on end for multiple days, which is why it’s so difficult for me to take the recording seriously LOL I’ve tried to record it and I’ve practiced the dance for months but I still can’t get it right. I think I’m too used to seeing all the parts together and derping around to the song that I don’t commit fully to it, maybe.

More on increasing entropy around these parts (wow I am totally ready for NCT’s comeback), I also think these entries shouldn’t be called update posts LOL because I think that there will be quite a lot if I don’t have a major topic planned yet I want to write about my daily life in general.

Speaking of daily life, it’s been going ok. I got a new buddy to talk to daily! His name is Salty Engineer 1 (his name is accurate in more ways than one, so it’s hilarious to me). I met him through A Cappella, and I got him to come to KDC tutorials muahahahaha.

Wow it’s been so long that I don’t even know what I wanted to include in “my next entry”. Let me try going backwards.

Well, today I went shopping with my mother…? We went downtown to the Eaton Centre where I picked up a pair of heattech leggings from Uniqlo. Then we went for lunch at Saku Sushi, dessert at Butter Avenue, coffee at McDonald’s, and then heading back up to Scarborough Town centre to pick up two blouses from The Gap and a pair of jeans from Old Navy. Not bad for an ~$85 haul? Was tempted to buy some skincare stuff but I never get around to using any of it anyway so it’s not that worth it in the long run for me.

After my midterms, I put my “thought wall” back up! It’s actually a compilation of my thoughts, excerpts from books I’ve read, as well as lyrics from various songs (though some are changed to better reflect me). It even has a few verses from the Bible, even though I’m not a religious person (I often question the point of religion). I started it in third year and after I moved from that house it sat in a bag by my desk for my fourth year, but I feel a lot better putting it back up! It’s kind of like a cathartic (form my psychology education, catharsis is never a good word to use) therapy for all of the thoughts I bottle up in my head. Kind of like this blog actually, but more poetic. Fun fact: I like poetry and I post my recent works on my main IG story. Let me know (continuing to question whether or not anyone reads this stuff) if this is something you guys would be interested in reading -- or maybe I’ll just post some one day for shits, who knows.

I got two new tattoos since the last time I posted! They happened within three days of each other lol Salty Engineer was like “well this turnaround is really quick” indeed friend it was quite amusing to go from one tattoo at the end of 2017 to two new ones in the same week in september 2018 like who am I turning into??? And I’ll probably get about 2-3 more before the year ends yay -- a plague doctor on my thigh, a matching tattoo with Carrot Oppa somewhere else (I don’t remember if I mentioned it was with Carrot Oppa in a previous post ._.), and maybe a lavender-vanilla one on my ankle? Haven’t thought too much about that one.

This term I’m an exec for KDC (did I mention this before? I can’t remember) and currently I’m editing their IDOL cover… actually maybe that’s a bad thing to reveal because if you can figure out what KDC actually is and find the cover, you can find me LOL eh I’m not too worried because I don’t think people read my blog anyway ^^” But you guys already know that I’m in the I’m Your Girl cover sooooo not that hard to find me let’s be real.

...

I write entries over a few days, did you notice? Sorry LOL Anyway, I just went out with an old friend of mine. We’ve known each other since we were in grade 10 from volunteering with an organization called Unity Charity. Our relationship has been pretty stable since then, even though we live very different lives in two different cities. Today we went to a Korean fried chicken restaurant called Mymy Chicken in North York, and stopped by the Tsujiri next door for dessert afterwards. I think I can confidently say that we both enjoyed catching up over food and the evening stroll. :) Uhh let’s call this friend Dancing Fashionista.

Anyway, that’s it for this entry. I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving <3

Love,
